Suggestion:

Allow the 60% carcasses to be 'shredded' into smaller portions. Each portion would be worth 30%; however there would be twice as many portions available from that carcass. This allows more of the pride to be fed. Even if it is for less of a %.

Alternative Shred Option
If the Meat is shredded into the pre-existing Meat Chunk (Large, Medium and Small) items then the percentage, and all the coding are already implemented into the system. These items would then determine the percentage. (Possibly even using the last 'serving' to create a Rawhide)


Reasoning:

Each carcass is worth a certain amount of % toward hunger. They range from 5 - 60% (haven't found any higher yet). I feed my pride when they are at 40% hunger. However, sometimes when I go to feed them all I have is carcasses worth 60%. Using a carcass for a lioness that does not need that much food feels like a bit of a waste to me.

For example, I had a cub that I was sending to a new home. She had 20% hunger. I make sure that my cubs are fully fed prior to shipping them off. However, the only thing I had to feed her was an Elephant Calf Carcass. These are worth 60%! To me this felt like a waste of food. With the Shred Meat Option, I could have shredded the Elephant Calf into smaller portions and not wasted an entire portion on the cub.

This would also help ease the perpetual problem so many with large prides have - lack of food. I spent an entire day hunting, regularly checking Lioden every half an hour to send my lionesses on a hunt. At the end of the day, they still did not quite have enough food for the pride. The reason for this was due to the amount of servings available per carcass.

If there was a way to shred the carcass into more, but smaller, portions, this would allow more of the pride to be fed on less food.

It would also allow those with not enough money to simply buy the food to feed their pride a little better.

Edit: Shred Meat is a good option for those who cannot get on line every 25 minutes to start a new hunt. It would give the ability to feed more lions with less food.

Suggestions by Others

Camo: Just a thought for those concerned about the meat market, simply make the shredded meat unable to be sold/traded/transferred so only whole carcasses/somewhat eaten carcasses are only allowed to enter the market. :)

Ni'Vara: The item "Shredded Meat" could just not give stats. Also, non-transferable.

Ancient Wisdom: As these items already exist, mayhap using the function 'Shred Meat' would turn the aforementioned carcasses into Large, Medium and Small Meat Chunks? The percentage of the carcass might determine the size of the resulting Meat Chunk. Then only minimal new coding is necessary to complete this suggestion.

RottandArtist: if you shredded the meat, the gains from shredding it could be offset a little by turning it into however many pieces of meat, and one rawhide. Rawhide could then have one use (either in events as we have seen, or as a playtoy, like any other single-use toy.)
